Celebrities.
Athletes. Politicians. Your friends and family members.

Just about
everybody, it seems, has taken part in the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" to raise
awareness - and funds - for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS,
or "Lou Gehrig's Disease." To date, more than $40 million has been donated.

The
initiative has been fueled by social media. One person challenges another
person, or a group of people, and that person or group then has 24 hours to
take an ice bath, of sorts, or make a $100 donation to the ALS Association.
Many participants choose to do both.
